what am i doing wrong here? From rebuilding the install iso and from the handbook instructions here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanced.html which suggests that in /boot/loader.conf only console="comconsole" is required, i have tried this and also explicity setting speed in boot/loader.conf console="comconsole" comconsole_speed="57600" i have also tried having the settings i use to access via serial post install ie: /etc/ttys: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure and /boot/config: -D but same result, install stops ( or goes elsewhere at point below) It does boot stage 1 and stage 2 then i get nothing? test serial output: ----------------------------------------- CD Loader 1.2 r Configuration Menu ...
